Some months old (October, 2005?), so recalling the circumstances of the pic now is a bit fuzzy. Bu-u-ut, I do remember that this picture in particular was experimental for me - a warm-up sketch from one morning that was put into Photoshop to test out some new textures that I'd made. It was also a departure in that, when it comes to the KH set, I usually stick to those from a Final Fantasy. This was one of the first times I ever drew Riku - or any of the KH-exclusive cast.

The emotion I chose for this picture is "panic". I wanted to convey the moment where the situation becomes overwhelming, the moment when you realize that you are no longer in control. It is similar to what I am feeling now with school work and my part time job, so I wanted to carry that emotion into my artwork.

This picture started as a small sketch in my notebook. It took me a while to complete the picture because of school. I tried my best to mimic the style of a Disney artist and Nomura Tetsuya, director of Kingdom Hearts. Please visit www.blue-waves.tk.

Here's Goofy in his Kingdom Hearts outfit. It was tricky to figure out how to make it look like his face was flat against a window. Lighting his gloves was tricky too because they kept looking a bit dirty to me. Please visit www.blue-waves.tk.
